The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number =
(frequency)/(speed of light)


20 = (f)/(340 m/s) \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz
